Actually my son is a student here! he's in the 3rd grade. Previously transferred from Tierra Del Sol. & I have to say that what my son brings home is ridicules! maybe if he was a little more prepared it would be okay, but its not! He's being taught multiplication + division at the same time! he's never been introduced to this! Not only that but also cursive! when I brought this up to his former teacher, about if they were being taught cursive she informed me that they DO NOT enforce it at that school!! WOW! Its putting a lot of stress on my child! Now I must find a tutor 2 help him being that the school has no support when it comes to this situation! Which is ridicules!!!
